One issue I’ve had with the lacquer glaze is it sticking to the roof of my mouth. I suspect it may be too cool or too thick…haven’t totally figured this out yet. I love the chocolate cream glaze! The taste is delish (cognac is a nice addition). The lacquer glaze can be touched up if you miss a spot where as the cream glaze will show this. But…the cream glaze is applied thicker and will not need as perfect of a surface for application. Also, you need a base layer under the lacquer glaze, whereas the cream glaze could go directly on a single layer cake with no other frosting. I don’t think the lacquer glaze impacts as much flavour as the cream glaze, but mostly because it is thicker than the lacquer. I rarely use the butter glaze…I think it’s Rose’s back up when she doesn’t have cream.
